Chances for Questbridge. Normal white guy!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am an average white teenager living in a small poverty stricken community. My parents own two very small agricultural businesses. My family was doing okay until my dad's business partner/ brother's godfather embezzled from us. Since then my family has been in significant financial trouble. Our average household income is around 55k but we do have some decent assets (some stocks and a gifted house from my grandmother). What do you think my chances for Questbridge are? I am almost done with the application but I just want to have an idea as to how I stack up. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>ACT: Composite- 31 Superscore-33
Unweighted GPA: 4.0
Class Rank: 1 out of 90</p>

<p>I am drum major of the marching band and section leader of the low brass, captain of the cross country team, 3 years of Science Olympiad, 3 years of Varsity Quiz Bowl, four years of jazz band, founder of a tutoring program for athletes (received a grant to fund it), and I am pretty sure my recommendations were stellar.</p>

<p>It will depend on the value of the stocks and home.</p>

<p>Our home is valued at around 400k, but has proven to be much more of a burden than an asset. My parents bought the house when they were making more and didn’t have an enormous debt to pay off. Do you think Questbridge will recognize that the house and our businesses put a great deal of financial stress on my family?</p>

<p>Your chances are minimal. You need below $60,000 income, if I remember correctly, but it really isn’t targeted towards those who have been economically compromised situationally, but those who are compromised chronically. Not someone with a $400,000 house and many assets, as I’ll assume you have given what you’ve written down, but the poor, hard-working student in Detroit who comes from a terminally broken home. Going from well-off to not so well-off will show.</p>
